Toyota
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (Toyota Australia) is one of Toyota Japan's global manufacturing centres.
With origins in Australia that date back fifty years, Toyota Australia's goes back to 1958 when Theiss Brothers began importing the first Land Cruiser models for work on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme and sold the first Toyota Land Cruiser in 1959.
Assembly of Toyota vehicles began in the Melbourne factory of Australian Motor Industries (later AMI-Toyota) in 1963 and within a decade the Corolla and Corona (the latter replaced by the Camry in 1987) became well established in the market. The commercial vehicle business became Theiss Toyota in 1971 and achieved commercial leadership in 1979.
In 1988 Toyota's local operations were unified to form Toyota Motor Corporation Australia and work began on restructuring and strengthening the group as a major step towards achieving international competitiveness and building vital export business.
